Turn on water supply and plug in power cord to check operation of

humidifier. Set humidistat to a demand setting. With the furnace off, the

solenoid valve should be closed and the humidifier fan not running. Start

the furnace, the solenoid valve should open and the humidifier fan run

when the blower or burner circuit is energized. Check flow of water

through distributor trough and evaporator pad. The standard GA4231

yellow orifice will supply approximately 3.5 GPH of water at a line water

pressure of 60 psi. For low water pressures (20-40 psi) a larger orifice

GA4299 is available to provide the same flow. Leave humidistat set at the

recommended setting.

Replace evaporator pad assembly and humidifier cover. Insert low

voltage six connector wiring harness from cover into chassis solenoid

harness.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The humidifier is connected to the 120 volt AC circuit through a control

relay. The secondary coil of an isolation transformer, a diode and resistor

supply 24 volts DC for the control circuit which also includes the humidistat

and relay coil. When the control circuit is completed by the humidistat, the

relay closes, supplying 120 volts to the fan motor and 24 volts to the

solenoid valve.

The operating principle of the humidifier is based on the most efficient

and economical means of evaporating water to the air. The heat

necessary for evaporating water is produced by the furnace.

The water supply to the humidifier is controlled by the electric solenoid

valve. The solenoid valve and humidifier fan are controlled by a

humidistat connected through an isolation relay. The humidistat is

designed for wall mounting in the living area or surface mounting on the

return air duct. ELECTRICAL RATING: 24 VAC/ 60 Hz.

DO NOT SET RELATIVE HUMIDITY TOO HIGH DURING COLD

WEATHER. EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE CONDENSATION

ON WINDOWS OR IN WALLS. REFER TO RECOMMENDED

SETTINGS AS DESCRIBED IN THE HUMIDISTAT OWNERS

MANUAL.

Water flows through a strainer, is metered through an orifice to provide

the proper amount of water, and is supplied to the evaporator pad by

the distributor trough. Air from the warm air plenum is pulled through

the wetted evaporator pad by the humidifier fan and returned to the

warm air plenum to be circulated through the living area. Moisture is

evaporated to the air passing through the evaporator pad.

Minerals are not blown into the air stream as occurs in atomizing

humidifiers; they are left on the evaporator pad where a high

percentage is carried off with the waste water.

When the humidifier is installed and operating, no adjustments are

necessary other than setting the control knob on the humidistat to the

desired level of humidification.

To turn the humidifier off, close water supply valve, switch electrical

power off and turn humidistat off.

This humidifier, if properly registered by the return of the warranty registration card to the manufacturer, is warranted to the consumer against defects in

materials and workmanship for a period of ten years from the date of installation. Evaporator pads, water strainers or metering orifices are not covered by

this limited warranty or any other warranties. Any other defective parts will be repaired without charge except for removal, reinstallation and

transportation costs. To obtain repair service under this limited warranty, the consumer must send the defective part or the complete humidifier to the

manufacturer.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES COVERING THIS AIR CLEANER OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER ASSUMES NO

LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSTALLATION OR USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. THE

MANUFACTURER WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow either

limitations on implied warranties, or exclusions from incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion and limitation may not apply to you.

Any questions pertaining to this limited warranty should be addressed to the manufacturer. (U.S.A.: The manufacturer has elected not to make available

the informal dispute settlement mechanism which is specified in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.)

Your Humidifier is engineered to give helpful and trouble-free humidification. For maximum efficiency the following cleaning procedures should be carried

out at the end of each heating season:

1. Turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.

2. Remove cover, water distributor trough, evaporator pad, pad rails and drain pan. Clean excessive mineral

deposits from the distributor trough, drain pan, pad rails and humidifier cabinet. A solution of 1/2 vinegar & 1/2

water will help loosen mineral deposits.

Inspect drain hose, clean or replace as necessary.

3. If the evaporator pad has excessive mineral deposits, replace with a new “GA19” evaporator pad. Install

trough, pad rails and drain pan. Replace cover, reconnect electrical plug..

4. In heavy mineral areas or if the solenoid valve fails to function disconnect the 1/4” water supply line from the

solenoid valve. Carefully pull the strainer screen (P.N. 900-8) from the valve body (P.N. 900-6). Clean the

mineral deposits from all parts. If the orifice is clogged, it may be opened by inserting a small pin. Reinsert the

filter into the valve body.

5. Reconnect the 1/4” water line to the solenoid valve if necessary. Turn on the water supply and check all points

for leakage. The operation of the unit may be checked by starting the furnace. The humidifier operates only

when the furnace blower is running or the burner circuit is energized. The humidifier is now ready for operation.

6. During the summer, turn off water supply and electrical power to humidifier.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LIMITED WARRANTY

HOW THE HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Ouvrir l'eau et brancher le cordon d'alimentation pour vérifier le

fonctionnement de l'humidificateur. Régler l'humidistat en mode de

demande. Lorsque la chaudière n'est pas en marche, l'électrovanne

devrait être fermée et le ventilateur de l'humidificateur doit être immobile.

Démarrer la chaudière, l'électrovanne devrait être ouverte et le ventilateur

de l'humidificateur devrait être en marche lorsque le circuit de soufflerie

ou le brûleur sont alimentés en courant. Vérifier le débit d'eau passant

par la goulotte du distributeur et le bloc évaporateur. L'orifice standard

GA4231 fournira environ 3,5 gal/h d'eau à une pression de ligne d'eau de

60 psi. Pour des pressions d'eau basses (20 à 40 psi) un plus grand

orifice GA4299 est disponible pour fournir le même débit. Laisser

l'humidistat au réglage recommandé.
